Kiki Bertens (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkiki ˈbɛrtəns]; born 10 December 1991) is a Dutch professional tennis player. Her highest WTA singles ranking is 21, which she reached in July 2016. Her career high in doubles is 36, achieved in June 2016.

Bertens started the year at the Australian Open, playing the qualifications. She played in the first round against top seed Vesna Dolonts and won the first ten games before Dolonts retired. In the second round Bertens lost to Olga Savchuk in a close three-set match. The next week, in an ITF 25K event in Andrezieux-Boutheon, Bertens retired with a thigh injury in the first round against Corinna Dentoni.

She played in the Fed Cup for the Dutch team, competing in Group 1 of Europe/Africa. She partnered with Demi Schuurs in the doubles match against the Portuguese team of Bárbara Luz and Margarida Moura and won in two sets. Bertens won her singles rubber against Estonia's Eva Paalma and with Michaëlla Krajicek double-bageled Anett Kontaveit and Tatjana Vorobjova. Late February she played the qualifications for WTA tournament of Acapulco. She played Mexican wildcard Ana Paula de la Peña in the first round and won but lost in the second qualification round to Sesil Karatantcheva.

At an ITF 25K event in Irapuato, Mexico, Bertens won her second ITF singles title, beating Kazakh Yaroslava Shvedova in the final, bringing her to a new career high in singles ranking. The following week, she made it to the quarterfinals of the 25K tournament in Poza Rica, but her winning streak was ended by Jana Čepelová. At the 25K tournament in Bath the week afterwards, Bertens won the title, defeating Annika Beck in the final in three sets, her fourth three-set match in a row. Bertens failed to qualify for the WTA tournament in Copenhagen, going down to Johanna Konta.
